    Such a wonderful Venue space

    I had a fabulous time at The Venue in Hastings, FL while attending the Hastings Cabbage and Potato Festival Chef Dinner. The industrial / Antique look and feel of the space was absolutely amazing—gorgeous, warm, and full of character. The atmosphere made the evening feel elevated and inviting, perfectly complementing the incredible food I had with the experience. I could only imagine how breathtaking this venue would be as a truly special place to host a wedding or celebration.

    Outstanding Venue!

    Touring this historic venue was an absolutely wonderful experience. The space is truly timeless, full of charm and character that you just don’t find anymore. Jena was amazing and so welcoming and genuinely passionate about the venue. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We left feeling inspired and excited, and this venue is truly something special. We look forward to working with them this year!

    What a truly special and memorable evening at The Venue in Hastings! The Gathering Table was an incredible experience from start to finish. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, with each dish paired perfectly alongside the wine tasting. You could feel the care, creativity, and passion that went into every detail of the menu. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The beautifully restored industrial building creates the feeling of stepping back in time while seamlessly blending historic charm with contemporary elegance. The thoughtful preservation of the building’s character, combined with modern touches, made for an unforgettable dining atmosphere. The entire evening—from the exceptional food and wine to the warm hospitality and sense of community—made this an experience we will remember for a long time. Thank you to The Venue in Hastings and everyone involved in creating such a remarkable event. We highly recommend both the venue and any future Gathering Table experiences. We can’t wait to return!

    The Venue is an absolutely beautiful event space with an incredible story behind it. Originally home to the Stanton Motors Ford dealership dating back to the 1920s in Hastings, Florida, this building has been thoughtfully restored while preserving the character and history that make it so special. The owners have done an amazing job honoring the building’s past instead of erasing it, creating a one-of-a-kind venue that will remain a local landmark for generations to come. Every detail reflects their passion for preserving its historical significance while providing a stunning space for modern weddings, celebrations, and special events. If you’re looking for a venue with charm, character, and a meaningful connection to the community’s history, The Venue is an outstanding choice. Highly recommend booking your next event, you’ll quickly see why this place is so special!

    Thank you so much! From the very beginning, our dream was to preserve the history and character of the old Stanton Motors Ford dealership while creating a place where people could gather to celebrate life's most meaningful moments. We truly believe this building has an amazing story to tell, and it has been an honor to breathe new life into it while preserving its rich history for future generations. Thank you for noticing the care and passion that went into every detail. We're so grateful for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Venue!

    The Venue HastingsAug 3, 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ We're thrilled you enjoyed your Gathering Table experience, and we're especially happy to hear the beef filet was a favorite! It means so much to us that you appreciate the restoration of this historic building and the experiences we're creating here. We can't wait to welcome you back soon!


We’re truly honored you’re considering hosting your celebration with us! You’re welcome to reserve your date as soon as you’re ready. Many couples and event hosts book 12-15 months in advance to secure their preferred date(s). The sooner you reach out, the better we can ensure the date that feels just right for you. The Venue team is pleased to help and discuss availability for your event.
A 50% retainer payment secures your date on our calendar, with the remaining balance due 60 days prior to your event. We’re happy to discuss payment schedules if you’d like to space things out — we know every event has its own rhythm.
We completely understand that plans sometimes shift. Should you need to move your date, we’ll do our very best to accommodate your request based on availability. Retainers are non-refundable, as they reserve your date exclusively for you, but we’ll always handle any requests to change to the best of our ability. We highly suggest event cancellation insurance through a third party vendor in the event of unforeseen circumstances and we are happy to make recommendations on companies that provide this.
Yes — we do ask that you carry event liability insurance and name The Venue as additional insured. It’s a small step that offers big peace of mind for everyone involved. We have a preferred vendor that we will provide to you once the agreement has been completed. Event Cancellation insurance is optional at your discretion.
We do require a day-of coordinator for all weddings (it is not required for corporate or social events but highly recommended). Our team focuses on the venue side of things, but your coordinator ensures your timeline, vendors, and special touches flow seamlessly. If you do not have a professional coordinator for your corporate or social event, one main contact will need to be appointed for The Venue team to help with your event.
The Venue was thoughtfully designed to feel intimate for smaller gatherings yet grand enough for celebrations of up to 350+ guests (depending on configurations).
Each of our packages includes a generous block of time to allow for setup, celebration, and cleanup. Additional hours can be added for an additional fee if you’d like a little extra breathing room to savor the day.
Yes — our Garden Suite and Ford Parlor were designed with both comfort and charm in mind. They’re beautifully furnished spaces perfect for getting ready, sharing a toast, or capturing those unforgettable pre-ceremony moments. Not all packages include access to these spaces so please be sure to look for those details while searching for the perfect package for your event. Additionally we have a third suite available that is perfect for a family room or green room depending on your event.
At this time, our focus is on providing a beautiful, versatile backdrop that can be customized to fit your vision. We will have basic offerings available in each package, but you are always able to upgrade these offerings through our third party vendors at your discretion.
We do! Our prep kitchen offers plenty of counter space, refrigeration, sinks, and easy access for catering teams — everything they need to serve your guests with ease. Not all packages include access to the prep kitchen so please be sure to look for that inclusion while selecting the perfect venue package for your event.
You sure can! We want you to have the freedom to choose the culinary and bar service that best suits your taste and budget, however because we do have to schedule specific training and insurance requirements, there is a fee associated with using a vendor that is not on our preferred vendor list. We simply ask that all caterers and bartenders be licensed, insured, and coordinate their setup with our team ahead of time.
Yes, we do — and it’s filled with trusted professionals we know and love working with. You’re welcome to use any licensed vendors you prefer, but our list can be a wonderful starting point if you’d like recommendations for top-notch service providers in the area. Our preferred vendors have already completed our required training and do not incur additional fees added to your event.
Just a few — mainly to ensure safety, quality, and care for the property. We ask all vendors to provide proof of insurance and to follow our setup and teardown guidelines. Beyond that, we love seeing how each team brings their own creativity to the space.
Yes, absolutely. You’re welcome to provide your own alcohol as long as it’s served by a licensed and insured bartender or bar service that is on our approved vendor list. This gives you the flexibility to customize your menu while ensuring everyone enjoys the event safely. We also required a security guard at all events that serve alcohol for your safety and liability.
Yes — for everyone’s protection, we require proof of insurance from all outside vendors (including caterers, bar staff, and DJs). It’s a simple process and helps make sure your event runs without a hitch.
Each of our packages includes a generous block of time to allow for setup, celebration, and cleanup. Additional hours can be added for an additional fee if you’d like a little extra breathing room to savor the day.
We adore beautiful details, but safety comes first. We allow flameless candles and hanging décor that’s pre-approved by our team. We do ask that guests skip glitter, confetti, helium balloons, colored smoke and open flames — they tend to linger a bit longer than the event does!
We want your event to end on a high note, not a rushed one. Music indoors can continue until 11pm, while outdoor amplified sound wraps up by 10:00 p.m. We’ll work with you to plan the perfect timeline so your evening flows beautifully right through the last dance.
At the end of your event, we kindly ask that clients take any personal belongings or décor items they’ve brought with them. Vendors will handle their own cleanup, and our team will take care of the rest — including sweeping, tidying, and removing trash to our onsite dumpster. For weddings and dinner events, caterers are responsible for bussing tables and leaving the prep kitchen as they found it. Our goal is to make closing out the evening as smooth and stress-free as possible. In the event that above normal cleaning is needed, additional fees may be incurred. We’re always happy to clarify responsibilities with your vendors before the event.
Once you’ve chosen your date and package, we’ll prepare a simple rental agreement. Your date is officially reserved once we receive your signed agreement and first payment retainer.
October through April is typically our peak season.
May through September is typically our off- peak season.
Yes, our facilities are wheelchair accessible.
Yes, we are pleased to offer complimentary on-site parking for our guests. In addition, parking is available on the streets around The Venue, on a first come, first serve basis. For larger gatherings, we can also recommend valet or shuttle services if you’d like to add a little extra convenience for your guests.
